This would have been only the second voyage to attempt this route (after the failure of Simon de Alcazaba), and pre-dating that of Alonso (sometimes Francisco) Camargo by two years. The only reference I have to this voyage is in the title of a very rare pamphlet by José Toribio Medina, published in a limited edition of 200 copies and, needless to say, not available in England: Medina, José Toribio: Algunas noticias de Leon Pancaldo y su tentativa para ir desde Cadiz al Peru por el estrecho de Magallanes en los anos de 1537-1538 (Santiago de Chile 1908). Pancaldo must be identical with the Leon Pancaldo who sailed as a seaman in the "Trinidad" with the Magellan expedition.

No diaries, correspondence, or even pilot books. There are court records dating to 1615, and Abucuck Prickett's apologia contained within Geo. Asher's 1864 recounting of the voyages of Hudson, along with the portions of Discovery's log dating to 1610, which survived the mutineers predations. This was published under the auspices of the Hakluyt Society, and the cataloging is curious. Your librarian can help you find it. Read it critically, because most of it, while probably true, points to motivation far removed from searching for the Northwest Passage.

The reason he drew my interest, is that his name came up in two seemingly unrelated contexts: One book mentions that in 1788, he drew the entrance of Strait Juan de Fuca (probably in service of John Meares), while another says that in 1791 he was in temporary service of the Hudson's Bay Company to search for the northwest passage. The latter mention at least gives the impression that he had already made a voyage for that purpose. Is this the same person?

I am pretty sure no traces of human activity in Iceland before 800 AD has been found. In Svalbard there has been some contravention with some stone tools found there. Some thinks they were brought to Svalbard by humans, other thinks they came to Svalbard by the ice. The stone tools are preserved at the Tromsø museum.

One will never know if this was Norway or Iceland. However, there is little doubt that he circumnavigated Britain. He noted the manners and customs of the inhabitants, the use of barns for threshing, the fermentation of liquors made from corn and honey, and the steady disappearance of various types of grain during his advancement northwards. It must be appreciated that the only references to Pytheas are in the works of Strabo (44 BC - 21 AD), and to a lesser extent in Pliny (46-79 AD). And even they were quoting from the "Histories" of Polybius (201-120 BC). Unfortunately, of the 40 books of Polybius, only five still exist, and the one that mentions Pytheas is lost. It can be inferred from Strabo, however, that the original book by Pytheas was more of a geography than a travel narrative. The Greeks, apparently, did not hold Pytheas in high regard. The date of Pytheas' voyage is, of course, unknown, but cannot be later than 285 BC. So much has been written about Pytheas, based on very little information, so be careful ! Coins in Iceland: Three small copper Roman coins (dating from between 270 and 305 AD) were discovered near the farm of Bragdhavellir on the south-east coast of Iceland, although exactly how they arrived there has been hotly debated.

Buell > I think you mean "..the Norse finds in Newfoundland," not Nova Scotia. His theory about the identity of the people who settled down at L'Anse aux Meadows (maybe the Irish?) may not be popular, but it sure is thought provoking. Not everyone may be aware of just who Carl Sauer was, but they should be. I put together the following excerpts (heavy clipping) from an essay about Sauer and his career written by James J. Parsons, professor of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley. It first appeared in Geographical Review, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 1976. I could send the complete article to anyone interested. For another good source of information on Sauer see "Carl O. Sauer: a Tribute," Martin Kenzer (ed.), Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, Corvallis, OR. And of course there are always links on the WWW. Here are just three. http://www.colorado.edu/geography/giw//sauer-co/sauer-co.html http://web.missouri.edu/~c562585/classics.htm http://geography.ou.edu/research/paper.html I believe it is important for everyone to keep in mind that Sauer, in his book "Northern Mists," unequivocally endorsed the theroy that Vinland was in southern New England. In the introduction to his last book, "Seventeenth Century North America," he wrote; "Vinland was placed in southern New England by early, well informed students. Later, others located it in northern Newfoundland, inferring either a climate much milder than at present or that vin did not signify grapes. Reviewing what the sagas said of plants, animals, and people, I found additional evidence in support of Vinland as having been in southern New England, the climate as at present." Neil Good nmg@capecod.net ------------------------------------------- Carl Ortwin Sauer 1889-1975 By James J. Parsons Geographical Review, Vol 66, No. 1 Jan. 1976. p. 83-89 [excerpts] WHEN Carl Ortwin Sauer passed away in Berkeley, California, on July 18, 1975, not only American geography but also the larger world of scholarship and humane letters lost a major spokesman and critic. His extensive writings decisively influenced the direction of academic geography and had a substantial impact on the historical, biological, and social sciences. Even in his lifetime he achieved the status of a legend... "Mr. Sauer," as he was addressed even by intimate friends and associates, was born of German ancestry in Warrenton, Missouri, on December 24, 1889. He recently observed with satisfaction, and with the sure historical sense which characterized all his work, that this took him "halfway back to Lewis and Clark." "His predilection was for rural life and simple folk, in whose wisdom he put great store. He never completely lost his suspicion of "the sophistries of the city fellers," although throughout his professional career he opted to live among them, within walking distance of his campus office. "As a boy he had been sent to study for three years in southern Germany. He graduated in 1908 from Warrenton's now defunct Central Wesleyan College, where his father was a teacher. After briefly studying geology at Northwestern University he enrolled at the University of Chicago, already one of the country's most exciting intellectual centers. A new graduate geography program had been established at Chicago under the physiographer Rollin D. Salisbury, for whom Sauer was to retain throughout his life enormous admiration and affection... "For thirty-one years Sauer was chairman of the Berkeley Department of Geography. He stepped down in 1954, three years before his retirement. In this period he shaped what was perhaps the most distinctive school of geography in the country... "After his retirement Sauer continued and even intensified his scholarly productivity. He accepted several short-term lecturing appointments at places where he knew that the atmosphere would be relaxed and congenial, usually at institutions where his former students were to be found. He also traveled frequently to Europe, where he came to take a special interest in the status of academic geography. "He was widely honored during his lifetime... In 1974 he received a Special Award from the Association of American Geographers for "a lifetime of exceptional achievement as a scholar of geography." The American Philosophical Society elected him to membership. He was awarded the American Geographical Society's Daly Medal in 1940 and later the Vega Medal of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, the Humboldt Medal of the Berlin Geographical Society, and, a month before his death, the Victoria Medal of the Royal Geographical Society.... "Sauer had something akin to a universal mind, and he could converse engagingly and in depth on an astonishing range of subjects. Widely read, he had the rare capacity of almost total recall and a sometimes disquieting ability to ask critical questions, to put a new twist on what was known. He worked totally without the props so commonly taken for granted by modern scholars. He used no research assistants, no duplicating machines, tapes, or calculators, and except in the early years no photography. His work was all his own, and he left an office piled with notebooks filled with his small, fine handwriting-field notes, outlines of papers and lectures, long extracts from archival documents from Mexico and Spain, reflecting his lifetime interest in Mesoamerica and the Southwest... "He took full advantage of the extremely wide field that geography comprehends... He did not like what he saw as a consequence of industrialization, urbanization, the expansion of colonialism, the accelerating rate of population growth, and the toll on raw materials that economic development entailed, and he said so... In the last years he became increasingly pessimistic about the future. The human creature seemed to him to be reordering the earth, its plants and animals, its resources, to suit himself and without regard for the consequences. As early as 1938 he spoke out loudly and clearly on the inevitable consequences of continuing resource depletion... "Modern ecologists tended to see him as something of a prophet. A month before his death, on the occasion of receiving the Victoria Medal, he wrote, "'Civilization in our time has developed a technological dominance that has changed the world and is impoverishing it. It has made an economy based on producing and consuming more and more. We are committed to growth and propose to find our way out of our difficulties bv more technology. Biologists are well aware of the limited world. Geographers must not forget it'" "Sauer was especially critical of the heavy hand of central bureaucracies. It was an article of faith with him that self-help is best, that communities should develop their own cultural options as to what surroundings they wish to live in. American overseas development programs especially troubled him, for he saw them as helping to snuff out the cultural diversity that he prized.... "In his early days with the Michigan Land Economic Survey and later, during the Depression, as consultant to the newly established Soil Conservation Service, he was involved directly with matters of resource utilization and public policy, a concern he returned to time and again. It was most effectively expressed in the Wenner-Gren symposium at Princeton in 1955, which he organized with the assistance of William L. Thomas, Jr. He liked to call it the "Marsh Festival" after George Perkins Marsh, the nineteenth-century Vermont diplomat who had early pointed a finger at the profligate waste of the earth's resources. The conference proceedings, published as "Man's Role in Changing the Face of the Earth" (edited by William L. Thomas, Jr.; University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1956), has been called a kind of "Silent Spring" of the then incipient environmental movement... "From his early Mexican work Sauer developed a growing interest in the antiquity of man's entry into the Americas, which he judged to be much earlier than conventional archaeology would then admit. As has happened so many times, subsequent developments have borne out his "hunch." His continuing concern for early man was directly related to his interest in climatic change, in the eustatic lowering of sea level in the Pleistocene, in marine terraces and their relationships to early human habitats. He early and persistently pointed to the antiquity of fire as a human tool, arguing that no human groups could have entered the New World without it. The modification of vegetation cover by burning he saw as a continuous process covering the entire history of human presence on the earth, beginning in the volcanic zone of the African rift valleys. He argued that most, if not all, grasslands were the product of fires, whether natural or man-set, and, although the matter is still in dispute, he found powerful allies among ecologists... "His thesis that seashore and streamside would have provided the protein base necessary for the earliest sedentary populations and that such fisherfolk were probably responsible for the original domestication of plants has found increasing support. In 1952 he summarized his thinking in the Bowman Memorial Lectures at the American Geographical Society, published as "Agricultural Origins and Dispersals" (American Geographical Society, New York, 1952; reissued, with additions, as "Seeds, Spades, Hearths, and Herds,"by the M.I.T. Press, Cambridge, Mass., and London, 1972). One of the most venturesome speculations in this seminal volume, suggesting the origins of agriculture in Southeast Asia, appears to be strikingly confirmed by recent archaeological research. "The history of exploration and discovery attracted his recurrent attention, particularly the manner and time of the coming of Europeans to the New World and their perception of native American society and subsistence. It began with the classic account of Coronado's peregrinations, "The Road to Cíbola" (Ibero-Americana, Vol. 3, 1932), and was the theme of three other book-length studies written during his retirement years, "The Early Spanish Main" (1966), "Northern Mists" (1968), and "Sixteenth Century North America" (1971; all three published by the University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles). A fourth book, tentatively entitled "Seventeenth Century North America," was left in manuscript form and is being published posthumously. Each of these works involved the mining of sources, rich and unutilized, in order to reconstruct past environments, native life, and the impact of European intrusions on them... "He had remarkable abilities of observation and identification, and his interpretation of early documents in his study of New World lands and peoples as first seen by Europeans was much enriched by [his] field experiences... "Sauer saw geography as a vast and durable field of substantive inquiry, but the "humane" geography he championed was a historical geography of people and place in which landscape aesthetics held an important position. He warned repeatedly that pseudoaccuracy could be more misleading than vagueness and that even accurately measured quantities were not necessarily significant. Too often, he complained, modern geographers were mistaking techniques for problems... "The reach and range of Sauer's contacts often brought him into closer touch with scholars in other fields than with geographers. He attended professional meetings only when he felt he had a bombshell to drop or when he was an invited or obligated speaker, as when he was president (New Orleans, 1940) and honorary president (Montreal, 1955) of the Association of American Geographers. His presidential addresses, "Foreword to Historical Geography" and "The Education of a Geographer," were memorable statements of his personal philosophy of geography as a humane discipline... "Sauer's insistence on writing clearly and compactly, his reflectiveness and his realism, and perhaps his interest in pre-Columbian contacts between the Old World and the New World led Olson to urge young writers to read his works.... "He carried on a broad and free-ranging correspondence with people in diverse fields. He was especially attracted to those who were willing to speculate, to challenge the entrenched thinking of "the Brahmans"... "Sauer had an undeserved reputation for being difficult to approach, "the Great God West of the Sierra,'' as geographers who did not know him occasionally whispered, apparently in a combination of grudging respect and disparagement. In reality he was a warm and friendly man, gentle, understanding, easy to talk with, who served in the role of pater familias to many... "Sauer emphasized observation as an important and inexplicably neglected component of geography. He liked to send students into the field, with goals sometimes not yet clearly defined, "to see what you can make of it," "Geography, he often said, is above all in need of inquiring minds, students for whom the landscape raises questions, who enjoy field study and maps. Most of all he urged the historical view, which for him meant reaching back to the very beginning of humankind. "A peculiarity of our American geographic tradition," he lamented in 1941, "has been its lack of interest in historical processes and sequences, even their outright rejection." More than any other group in geography, Carl Sauer and his students moved to correct this situation. JAMES J.

You will need them later. Sauer is politically incorrect today because, among other things, he did not see Native Americans as living in "completely harmony" with nature and sees all humans as destroying the environment to some degree. Many environmental utopianists don't want to hear that but Sauer well documents his points. Yes, Newfoundland not Nova Scotia. Paul D.

I am interested in finding poems, quotes, etc., from literature or history that might fit in such a theme. For example, Whitman in "Leaves of Grass" has a number of poems about ship's pilots. "Ulysses" by Tennyson has some wonderful imagery. I would appreciate any leads on any great literary (fiction or historical) imagery relating to compass (or wind) roses, sea charts, or sea pilots. I will, of course, give credit in the body of written material, to the appropriate person, for the assistance in the discovery of such literature. If anyone is interested in the core eight tenets of leadership (The Leadership Compass) that I am developing as a foundation for the material, I would be happy to email you a scan. Please understand they are in initial format. While the points themselves, are not specifically related to a mariner theme, the illustrative material (graphic and literary) will be.
